Spaz got outside yesterday and finally came back in last evening. About an hour after he came in he started vomiting all over the place and kept vomiting all night. He's drinking water but is very weak and is still throwing up. I'm trying to get him to a vet today but so far none will see him in an emergency.

Prayers and healing thoughts would be very helpful!

I'm really scared I'm going to lose my little black monster.

fingers crossed.

Just a thought in case you can't find a vet............I know cats hate water.......but they do absorb it rectally.  It'll keep him from dehydrating......which would be the most urgent of the issue after this amount of time.

sub cut would help him alot.  Along with some old paragoric if you can locate.
I feel for you........it's awful to watch.

If he makes it thru the night, some tapiocca pudding will help settle his stomach in the morning, add some much needed energy and absorb what's left of the toxic lining in the stomach.

He's still alive, so it wasn't rat poison he got into, which a good thing. 
The worst at this point would be anti freeze.
Based on his stomach contents.....you got any ideas?

if the immodium is working.....I'd only give him a small dose of paragoric.  Just enough to keep the stomach from wrenching and twisting and cramping.  It'll coat, and the two should not interfere with each other.

sub cut.........a fluid IV bag.  Know an EMT?

Great News!!!

I look forward to hearing stories about his miraculous recovery and how you sweated tears after all the worry is gone.

With poisoning, he'll require a particular diet for a few weeks.  It's simple, easy and cheap.  I'll email it to you when this part is finished.

I guess it's time to accept that my baby boy isn't going to make it. We've given him intravenous fluids, antibiotics, water, and tried food and he's getting weaker by the hour. His breathing is shallow and he can barely lift his head now. I won't be on again until after the end. I'm going to take him out on the porch and sit with him until it's over.

Im sorry Crystal, and believe me, I know how you feel at this moment... You seem to be taking it better than me at the moment.
